Also, 1) The ability to chat (great for those overnight hours when only the operators are awake and nobody's sure that anyone is manning the generators as well as for other less-serious reasons). 2)
I do this for ALL contests. I have contest-specific batch files (with useful names, like CQWWCW01.bat) that are usually based on last year's setup. These load the TSRs, have the right command-line st
My one, weekend-long, experience with Writelog (we had another nickname for it) was in a fully networked, 6-station, multi-multi environment and was less than thrilling. Most PCs locked up at various
It seems that for about a month or so, the ARRL has been publishing the "Contest Rate Sheet" bulletin (in electronic form). It's available via email (to ARRL members) and on the web: http://www.arrl.
This is the wrong question. No one said that SO2R was not an advantage. From what I've read, most agree that it is a significant advantage. Anything that provides a detectable improvement to one's sc
At the risk of not knowing the answer to a question before I ask it, I wonder how true this is? It would be good to compare the logs of top SO1R and SO2R stations and compare the "park time" on a giv
While a valid point, this would not be unique to an SO2R category. Almost ALL categories (hell, even your state/section) are essentially unenforceable. While there is surely a high correlation betwee

I thought the FQP happened in April. Maybe I'm wrong... I should look it up somewhere. Besides, maybe that's not a "real" contest... OJ? ;-) ________________________________________________ PeoplePC:
Who ever said this? Why does the analogy of packet use and SO2R keep coming up? I see absolutely no connection (other than the attempts by those who don't use them to want to separate themselves from

Here I go again...begging... Have any good contester photos from your Dayton trip? Contesting.com could use a "few good pics" with good captions. Please upload them at: http://www.contesting.com/spot
No, sorry. That's the way it was designed (not to say it can't change). It shows one pic at a time, randomly, each time you visit the site. Mike N2MG As someone who has never gone, is there a way to
